More than 700,000 trees planted in Surrey

More than 700,000 trees have been planted in Surrey as the county council aims for 1.2 million saplings by 2030.

May 8, 2025

"In the past year, Surrey County Council said its initiative had created about 49,000 new trees and #hedgerows.

"This brings the total number of trees planted to 768,832 since 2019 – more than halfway to the county's target of planting one tree for every Surrey resident.

"A range of community projects have been supporting the challenge.

"Meanwhile, an orchard of 10 fruit trees was created at Goldsworth Park Medical Centre in #Woking as part of the #NHSForest scheme, which aims to transform green spaces within healthcare sites to improve health, #wellbeing and #biodiversity.

"Marisa Heath, Surrey County Council's cabinet member for environment, said: 'Trees play a vital role in enhancing the appearance of Surrey's green spaces, while also strengthening our climate resilience.

" 'We couldn't do this alone, so I thank all the partners, communities and residents who support this initiative. I encourage you to continue to do so to achieve our target for the benefit of our communities and future generations to come.' "

Some questions I try to ask myself at least once a day to make wellbeing a priority:

▪︎ how does it feel to face life right now?
▪︎ do you feel good about yourself? your life?
▪︎ do you have agency?
▪︎ what would you do differently if you felt you could succeed?
▪︎ what does success look like?
▪︎ are you practising self-care?
▪︎ how do you feel in yourself? in your physical spaces? in your virtual spaces? (in that order)

Learning to accept feedback is not easy, but you'll improve as a software engineer and leader when you do…

The problem is that our natural reaction is to become defensive and hit back…

You might think:
👉 It makes you look bad
👉 You need to protect your reputation
👉 You need to protect your team

Feedback is a gift:
👉 It doesn't mean you or your team are being blamed

Being a software engineer can be lonely at times…

Sometimes you want to offload on someone outside of work, but when you realise they can't relate to what you're going through, you don't feel heard, at least I didn't anyway…

👉 The problem

I didn't have much else to talk about!

👉 The result

I stopped talking to my friends and family about work (programming).

Is your subconscious mind sabotaging you?

Your subconscious mind holds onto beliefs that could be unhelpful.

They might reflect another time in your life or a completely different context than the one you’re in now…

Causing you to doubt your skills and accomplishments unnecessarily…

Affecting your confidence and contributing to imposter syndrome…
